The Cuff Stream.

The fact is we'll understood, Of course.
that Great Britain aud other parts of
northwestern Europe owe much in the
matter Of climate and temperature, TO
the warming influence of the Gulf
Stream. Tie extent Of the effect which
is thus produced. according TO the cal
culations made BY Dr.. CroII, almost ex-
coed belief, or ever comprehension, in a
mathematical sense. He has found, by O
careful scientific estimate, that the
amount Of heat conveyed northward in
the Atlantic by this stream is equivalent
to n, 40, $50, 900, 600, 900 foot pounds Of
energy per day, which is equal to all the
heat received BY 1, 500, o35 square miles
at the equator, and more heat than is
conveyed by all the mir queensland so
positive Is its climatic effect, and so far
reaching. that according to d.. Croll,
the heat Of the Arctic seas and North
Atlantic would be diminished to that
immense extent BY the stoppagc or die
version Of the great oc IAN river.

4 Curious Little Honey Bi1,d.

WcScame to II large piece OF Timber, and
whils passing through it had my first
experience with the honey bird of South
Africa This curious little bird is, in
siz, aud plumagc, about like an English
sparrow, aud gets his name from the
fact that the little fellow, who is very
fond of honey, being unable to obtain it
for himself, will lead men to the places
where wild bees have hidden stores oil
rich wild honey. Whenever this bird
sees a man he will fly close TO Linn, how
ering around, uttering a twittering
sound; then he will go off in the direc-
ton of the place generally a trec) where
the honey is, flying backward and for
ward in q zigzag fashion. Then back
he will coms, twittering in the same
manner, as if to say, t'Come along, I'll
show you where it IS" These actions
are repeated until tho tree is reached,
when the bird will indicate it very plain.
~ by flying to it and lowering around
il.
If the distance is great, and some-
times the honey bird will lead o person
who is willing to follow o distance of
ten miles, he will wait on a tree until
the follower comes up and will then
continue his business OF plotting. He
is very persistent and will do his
best to draw any one on, but ifthe party
is not posted about honey birds and re-
fuses to follow, or goes in the wrong
direction, the bird will leave, probably
in search of some person who will APP
prcciate his efforts to provide him with
sweetmeats.
While the bees are being smoked out
and the honey taken up, the bird will
hover over the vicinity until the job is
done, when of course his reward comes
in the shape of a feast on the fra ments
that are left. If he knows of other
hives, just as soon as one is disposed of
ne Will ieau the way to another, and |
have, since this time, known as many as
four trees to be taken up by a party in
one day. When the honey bird has
shown one tree, il the hunters are salts
fed with that and refuse to follow him
further, he leaves them; but / have never
heard of an instance in which the bird
misled any n in regard to finding
honey. 1t frequently happens, however,
that a honey bird will lead a person into
very dangerous places, and unless the
hunter keeps his eyes about him, when
following this bird, he may run right
onto a lion, q venomous snake, or some
other equally undesirable acquaintance.

An ObIigfasg Husband.


Lady Arden complained of a tooth
ache. All the remedies used ON such
occasions were applied, but still she
found no relief. AT length she decided
on sending to Edinburgh, q distance OF
fifty miles from CIydesdalc Castle. for q
dentist to extract tho suffering tooth,
and when he arrived she declared that
her nerves were unequal to submitting to
an operation unless she saw it performed
on some n else first. The few friends
admitted to the sanctuary of her boudoir
looked aghast as this declaration, each
expecting to be called on, but after a
silence of a few minutes and no one of
fering, she told Lord Arden that he
must have a tooth out, that she might
judge from his manner of supporting the
operation if she could go through it.
He appeared amazingly disconnected,
made Q wry face and ex~postulated, but
the lady insisted. The obedient hus-
band submitted, and a fine, sound tooth
was extracted from his jaw, after which
she declared that shs had seen enough to
convince her that she could not undergo
a similar operation. Manchester Cou.

A SIgar-Producfna Tree.

A report comes from the East which is
Of great Importance, if true. It is that
there has been discovered in British In
dia q BOSOM of such saccharine proper-
ties that it is destined IL revolutionize
the sugar business of the world. 1t is
the flower of the mahwa, or moola, q
tree Of large size, which abounds in the
southern portion of Hindostan. This
blossom has a sweet taste and yields
one-half its weight in sugar. The Hin
docs have for a long period bcea accus-
toned to extract a syrup from the
mahwa's flowers, but in the most print
tive fashion, without attempting to de-
velop u process. The tree, it is stated,
demands neither care nor cultiva.
ton. 1t produces annually a
thousand pounds O. of blossoms,
which it sheds during the night. The
saccharinc matter is also serviceable for
q spirituous liquor and for an oil which
may be used for both lighting and fool.
If this wonderful report is correct, it
may be seen at a glance what o disas-
trous competition the mahwa is likely to
make with existing sugar industries.
The best West India plantations pro-
duce 300 pounds per aspent Il IA acresl,
and the French and German sugar beet
farms do not equal this amount. But it
is claimed that the blossoms of Ave
mahwa trees will yield the same amount
q statement not consistent with the re-
ported weight of the bloom. which
however, must be an error. From o00
to $50 trees can be grown upon an aspent
from which it results that the crop Of
sugar, will be from forty to fifty times
greater per acre of land than that Of the

Lfving BreastaUorEs,

I'M. Quad" tells how the Confederate
General McCulloch, in 1868, attacked
the Fedcrals at Milliken's Bend. Six
hundred mules were secured, aud each
solder advanced behind q mule, thus
sheltered by a living breastwork. AS
soon as the mules came under fire they
reared, plunged, and kicked SO that they
were sources OF danger instead of safety.
The mules were a failure as breastworks.
The Federals thought the mule business
was q very good joke on the Con-
federates, but here is one to match it.
Az New Hope some military genius con-
cciyed the idea of br aking the Con-
federatcs' line by driving a big herd of
bccves against it. One night about 10
o'clock, when it was very dark, the
bccves were massed, and the Fedcrals
who werc to follow got ready to move.
Tie Confederatcs caught on,n as the
Arabs say, and opening their line, al
lowed the beeves to pass through, and
then closing, devoted themselyes to hold
ing The Fcderals in check. In that they
were entirely successful. The Con-
fcdcrates enjoyed the Federal beef, and
were wiling to take more at the same
